Ingredients

300 g pasta (Cook according to package instructions)
100 g ham (Finely chopped)
100 g Parmesan (Grated, plus extra for serving if desired)
2 small red onions (Finely diced)
600 ml heavy cream
1 tbsp Pesto Rosso (Add more to taste if a more intense flavor is desired)
cooking oil (A little, for sautéing the onions)
5.5 tbsp all-purpose flour (Approximately 5–6 tbsp; use enough to dust the onion and ham mixture generously)
pasta water (Reserve some before draining; add gradually if the sauce becomes too thick)
salt (To taste)
black pepper (To taste)
garlic powder (To taste)
tomato salt (To taste)
sweet paprika powder (To taste)

Steps

1
Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve some of the pasta cooking water.
2
Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a large pan and sauté the finely diced red onions until translucent.
3
Add the chopped ham to the pan and sauté for another 2–3 minutes.
4
Dust the onion and ham mixture generously with approximately 5–6 tablespoons of flour. Stir thoroughly and cook briefly.
5
Gradually stir in the heavy cream until incorporated, then bring the sauce to a boil.
6
Stir in 1 tablespoon of Pesto Rosso. Add more at the end if you prefer a more intense flavor.
7
Season the sauce to taste with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, tomato salt, and sweet paprika powder.
8
If the sauce becomes too thick, gradually stir in some reserved pasta water until it reaches the desired consistency.
9
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir to coat it.
10
Add the grated Parmesan and mix thoroughly until the cheese has melted and the sauce coats the pasta evenly.
11
Serve immediately, with extra Parmesan if desired.
